I looked at AFR and they only list the "standard" height versions. I originally bought the heads assembled with their springs, but on this winters refurb I was planning on installing the correct springs from the cam card which run the different height.
Thanks

Comp does. I use 1.5" PAC springs, and Comp has both the retainers and both -.050" and +.050" locks
